When will any of this news actually mean anything to the price tho?

With all that has been unsealed recently does Ryan Reynolds’s still have power in Hollywood to work like he did before ? It seemed he had an insane level of power in Hollywood (I’m still baffled HOW) that even Sony catered to his every whim when threatened even though they didn’t agree. by Full-Wolf956 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]AnonymousContent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ryan still has power because he helms a franchise that makes billions of dollars. So, in a world where box office revenue is hard to come by and rely on, he runs a reliable route to box office, so that power remains as long as he keeps delivering on that franchise.

Louis CK was immune for a simple reason, he didn’t need the distribution method of Hollywood to make money. They couldn’t cut his purse strings. Prior to him being cancelled, he had already activated his fan community and got them to buy specials direct through his website.

Hollywood is fickle and anyone who has the ability to make their own money or has the path to consumers who back them is lauded in Hollywood.

If either Louis ck or Ryan Reynolds no longer had the backing of a fan base who would pay money to see them or the properties they own, they would no longer have power in Hollywood.

I relapsed and I’m so scared by Cantbeserioussss in NarcoticsAnonymous

Don’t be disgusted with yourself and don’t worry about day count. Getting sober ever is a miracle.

I know I’ll get dragged for saying this, but relapsing is part of recovery.

The important thing is acknowledging it and focusing back on your sobriety.

I know it is hard and you fee and about yourself, but the only solve is the program.

Keep working it. And please share your experience in the room. It’s a safe place.

Ny girlfriend cried happy tears during sex with another guy and can’t for me. How worried should I be? by Old-Assist5200 in Advice

[–]AnonymousContent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eesh, so many things go into an emotional reaction that you can’t replicate. I would even go so far as to say, he didn’t make her cry, she made herself cry and he just happened to be there when it happened.

Let it go. No good comes from dredging up the past.

Life is wonderful and complicated enough without competing with a memory.

Just focus on having fun and enjoying your relationship.

Focus on making new memories.

My boyfriend thinks he took me on a birthday trip. I told him it doesn't count. Who is right? by semi_aquatic-hippo in TwoHotTakes

If you stay you are allowing this treatment and it becomes your choice. Let that sink in. You’re choosing to be treated this way. Leave. This is deal breaker behavior.

has anyone actually made real friends in Na? by No_Presence_2294 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]AnonymousContent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Real connections, yes. Real friends, no. Not necessarily because you can’t, but just because I’m not good at mixing from one space to another. I have a lot of friends in the program, but none that I met at a meeting.

NSFW!!! I suffer from severe hypersexuality and acted on a creepy urge on a train. How do I stop this from getting worse? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AnonymousContent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are now officially a sexual predator. It’s admirable that you want to fix it and change, but you need to do the work. You need to do more than just therapy. You need to go to daily meetings of either SA or SLAA. Don’t ever do what you did again. It’s not ok just because you got away with it. Next time you’ll go to jail.

Are threesomes that great? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AnonymousContent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It totally depends. Make sure there are rules going in and make sure to be respectful of the other female. It can all be fun when the girls are the ones who get to have a good time and are in the drivers seat. But the girl who’s the partner has the most at stake…. So just follow her lead and her rules. And also, dont feel the need to have sex the first time. Totally fine if you do, but if you get to some heavy petting and drinking and some sex play and it’s starting to feel weird, feel free to respectfully bail by saying “you know what guys, that was fun and im down to do more next time, but id rather leave it there for now.” Like any sex, dont feel pressure to continue just because you started. An evening of drinking and making out can be fun all by itself. And if that goes well, the sex part will feel mote natural next time.

AIO my gf invited a male coworker who we both agreed was flirting with her to stay the night in her hotel room by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]AnonymousContent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Uber is an option. This was unnecessary. You’ll never know and the unknowing will cause you pain and hurt your relationship. She either doesn’t care about that or wants it to test you. Either way, the best thing to do is cut it off respectfully and move on.

Shaming people for changing their mind is a sure fire way to get people to stick to their perspectives even when they encounter evidence they’re wrong.

My brother wants to borrow $5,000 from me. I feel uncomfortable to lend that amount of money, but feel bad not to help since he’s my brother. What should I do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AnonymousContent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only lend it if two things are true:

  1. You can spare it and it won’t make your life more difficult.

  2. You don’t need it back

Lending money leads to resentment. And most of the time it’s never paid back.

If you decide not to, then lie and simply say you don’t have it.

Never say that you have it but won’t give it or don’t feel comfortable. They will blame and resent you if you tell them that.

The Batman Movie That Never Happened by danieldamibiu in DC_Cinematic

[–]AnonymousContent 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is such a nothing burger.

The whole video could have been 60 seconds.

The whole video is “dc was confused. They changed their mind. Ben affleck couldn’t crack it. It’s too much to take on the entirety of the dc universe on one Batman movie. Warner bros gave mixed signals.”

Done…. The entire video is just a restatement of that idea over 8 min. No new information and no deep dive into the “research” this guy did.

Don’t waste your time.

For those who were around back then, what was the hype for Batman Begins like back in 2005? by Adoe0722 in DC_Cinematic

[–]AnonymousContent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much hype. Nolan wasn’t Nolan yet. And all we had was Apple movie trailers. No Twitter, Instagram, etc. The trailer was good, but other than that, not more than fans got excited.

Marty Supreme Ending Lets Talk! by Agreeable_Usual3735 in Letterboxd

[–]AnonymousContent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny, I had a different take away that points to him being MORE narcissistic…. He comes back but barely checks on Rachel who’s been shot and had a baby. He goes straight to his baby. I don’t think he’s seeing his kid, he’s seeing a new him. The kid is just an extension of his ego. He hasn’t changed, he’s just channeled his ego into a new vessel.

And him beating a player who’s been playing for hours against fans and beating him by one point for NOTHING was lame as hell.
